Summary:

Harmony DC PCS is a single-school charter district in Washington, DC, serving grades PK through 5 at Harmony DC PCS - School of Excellence, an elementary school with 182 students located at 62 T Street NE.

Because this is the only elementary school in the district, all comparisons are made against DC state averages. On the most recent state tests, the school's academic performance is very low: only 12.2% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%, and just 8.3% scored proficient in math, versus the state average of 28.2%. In rank terms, the school district sits at 45th out of 46 districts in DC (2nd percentile, 0 stars), and the school itself is currently ranked 112th out of 124 schools statewide (10th percentile, 1 star). Grade-level results show some inconsistency, with Grade 4 math at 11.9% while the all-grades math average is lower at 8.3%, meaning other tested grades performed even worse in that subject.

Perhaps the most striking finding is the disconnect between resources and results. The school spends a substantial $30,708 per pupil, which implies a total operating budget of roughly $5.6 million, and it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.4 to 1. Yet, despite this high level of investment, proficiency rates remain far below state averages. The school has also experienced highly volatile year-over-year changes: math proficiency plummeted from 16.7% to 8.3%, a relative decline of about 50%, while the school's ranking briefly improved to the 43rd percentile in 2024-2025 before falling sharply to the 10th percentile in 2025-2026. With only 182 students spread across PK through 5, individual grade cohorts are very small, meaning that just one or two students can swing proficiency percentages by several points. This small-sample volatility, combined with the lack of available socioeconomic data, makes it difficult to determine whether the low test scores reflect instructional challenges, high student mobility, or cohort-specific fluctuations.
